Abstract

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is not limited to HIV. In polymedicated or immunomodulated patients, PML can present with subacute cognitive, language, or motor deficits. For general practitioners, the key is to consider PML, review at-risk medications, arrange urgent brain MRI and lumbar puncture, and refer to neurology. This article provides a practical approach focused on recognition, initial workup, and coordination with hospital teams, illustrated by a case.
